I want to quit my job right now... — Page 2

Sadly Namo no, we are both working our way through college (which explains why I haven't gotten up to NYC to meet some of you guys at a picnic or something) and we are pretty strapped for cash, plus we are saving to buy a house after graduation and saving money fora new place because where we live sucks. I am just going to talk to my boss today, tell her that I am going on my vacation and if she fires me that I will file for unemployment because she will be firing me for unjust cases. She can't fire me anyways because she needs staff desperatly. I just need this vacation and I will take it. What will she do if I don't show? Exactly...nothing. The week she wants me to stay is the last week of the program then the job is over.

I say go for it, Kel. Nothing empowers you more than telling people you will not be taken for granted and they cannot take advantage of you. You are young and will have plenty of opportunities ahead of you. QUIT! Something will come along. Have faith that Jesus and your guardian angels will look out for you because you are doing what is right. If you stay you will regret it for the rest of your life and will always feel as if someone owned you.

I suggest that you threaten to quit! Your boss is already short handed. If you let her take advantage of you now, you will always be considered to be a doormat.

She is no friend of yours.

So here is the best part of the day so far. Her sister called me this morning and invited me to go out to eat with her and the chaperon of the Korean kids that are here on next Friday night. That is the night that I should- correction- WILL be in DC at a Nationals game. I found someone who will cover for me and I am going, if she doesn't like it, then fine fire me. It was a pre-arranged situation and I WILL NOT cancell my plans. I need this vacation not only to get my money back, but for my peace of mind. This summer I have worked my butt off for her, in classes, and dealing with family crap. I will not be walked over. The phone call from the sister put me over the edge. She said, well not to be rude, but its not my problem. Her reason for quitting was because our boss yelled at her. She asked if I would stay at a job where my boss yelled at me and I told her the truth. I have. I needed the money and I stuck it out til my new job started. I was miserable and I hated every minute of it, but in the end I went over my bosses head and explained why I was quitting and my ex boss recieved a little pink notice a few days later. He was an unfit manager and it was taken care of. This job only lasts for two more weeks (And Etoile, no seasonal employees do not get vacation, but this was a condition of me coming to work here that I would have that week off.) and she should have sucked it up and realized that her quitting affected other people.
I will be going on vacation if my boss likes it or not. She is having a bad day today because payroll screwed alot of people's checks up, but she has to deal with me too. I am not going to be taken advantage of.

WEEEE!!! Have a blast and be sure not to stew over it while you are gone.

Just so you know...


I just talked to my boss and I got the time off. All of it. She was super apologetic and said that she is sorry that her sister made things such a mess. I do not have to take one of the Korean exchange students in, and all is well.

Not a chance...B-way's not her thing. Thank you everyone for being so great while I vented. I got my vacation back and a huge apology from the boss lady

If I could afford to I would, but I can't. At least I get to go on my trip.

*blus* Thanks Elphie.
